The wireless controller is suitable for use in an office environment where it can be

Provide a minimum of 25 mm or 1 inch of clearance.
The air is as free of dust as possible.
Temperature operating limits are not likely to be exceeded. Install the unit in a clean, 
air-conditioned environment. For information about the recommended operating
